  "textContent": "March 5, 2026 – The city of Bellevue, Iowa, will be sunsetting its cable television service Oct. 1, following almost two decades of operation, citing increased competition from streaming platforms and financial challenges.\n\nThe notice was sent to Bellevue residents in their monthly utility bill. City officials noted that this was a difficult decision to make and acknowledged the adjustment customers would have to make. The city will continue to operate its broadband network.\n\nBellevue city officials also said many shows and networks are no longer available on cable TV due to streaming service competition. As a result, many households have switched from cable TV service to streaming networks like YouTube TV, which have included more entertainment options.\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
